We want to see a box decorated inside and out, it can be a box card or a box you make from scratch or with a template, please note that it cannot be an altered box of any kind. I guess our Guest Designer and Design team's samples will tell you what we are looking for, do hop over by clicking the blog name under their name to see more photos of the project, since it is a box decorated inside and out, I strongly recommended that you check out the multiple photos posted by our GD and DT to get an idea of what we are looking for this week, have fun!!!!

Hi All! I'm so excited to be this week's hostess for City Crafter Challenge Blog! The theme this week is "A Boo-tiful Color Challenge". Your challenge is to PRIMARILY use the colors BLACK and CREAM on your project. I love Halloween and this color challenge is Halloween inspired, but your projects DO NOT have to be Halloween projects. Please REMEMBER that in order to be in the running for our prize, though, that we want to see projects that the MAJORITY of your project is using the colors BLACK and CREAM. You may use other colors, but the focus should be on BLACK and CREAM. We can't wait to see your BOO-TIFUL projects!

A wonderful source of inspiration; an extremely talented DT who also are a group of wonderful women.

Guest Designer

Get to know Virginia....

I'm Virginia Lu from Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. I'm blessed with two wonderful children ad a loving and supportive husband. In my little world, I help manage my hubby's medical office. When NOT working, I love creating cards, making layouts and cooking yummy food. I fell in love with stamping and card-making over 16 years ago. However, I only became active and passionate about my hobby in Fall 2008. I haven't stopped since! I love working with all kinds of stamps, pattern paper, inks, digital images, embellishments and stickers! I love paper-crafting as it is so fun and therapeutic. I find myself thinking/dreaming about stamps as I love to maximize the use of each stamp in most creative ways. Currently I design for SRM Stickers and CAS-ual Fridays Challenge Blog. You may find my cards in Paper Crafts (Jan/Feb 2012).
